Third Parties Have Final Wii U Development Kits

[gloweyjoey]

Capcom's Yoshinori Ono started his own pre-launch hype for Nintendo's Wii U console in a recent interview. The Street Fighter X Tekken producer claims that there's more than meets the eye for Nintendo's upcoming console, and what has been shown is just a portion of the possibilities for the next generation system.

"What we saw last E3 is not a reflection of everything this console is able to offer,"says Ono. "We have been trying development kits and some of its new characteristics will improve its possibilities. It isn't something like Kinect or other similar accessories, it's something different.

"I can't tell you more about it because, if I do, Nintendo will send assassins to finish me," he joked. "Wii U will be a console with so many and unique possibilities that it will be different to show them in the box they are going to sell ...or by magazines or other mediums.

With Nintendo promising information about the upcoming console leading up to E3, we're likely to hear more from the company soon. As for Ono and Capcom, it sounds like Nintendo's got their support on the next generation console.

and a quote from Reggie

"I won't say you're going to have to wait unitl E3, but certainly we're not breaking any news here (on Spike)."

I think the Wii U design looks great, but my only issue with the controller is that it looks like it will be annoying to press + and - like the start and select button for the 3DS..

About the new features, "not like the Kinect sensor or similar accessories" and "Wii U will be a console with so many and unique possibilities that it will be different to show them in the box they are going to sell ...or by magazines or other mediums"

To me this reminds me of something that was said to me in Japan when I saw the WiiU. The nintendo rep said when I asked if the camera was any good "video chat is a joy on WiiU and makes skype a thing of the past" and I should "imagine chatting on my TV and sifting through my files on wiiU and sending them the file in real time"
At the time I didnt really think that this was anything amazing or new, still don't, but it is a possibility that this is what Ono is referring to.

Also I was taken to a corner of the room packed with onlookers to be shown a NINTENDO display. The display was in FULL 3D. Not 3D like the 3DS. but 3D as in it was a full colour moving HOLOGRAM of SUPER MARIO BROS. Blocks rolled into view, mario punched them and jumped on a yoshi and then runs around.... and repeat. This display ewas unlike anything I have seen before and I could walk around it and see it from any angle I liked. It was soooooo impressive. It was displayed in a pyramid of glass.

These, I think are true possibilities for wiiU although at the time I thought I was being shown next next next gen tech.

It's amazing, but it wasn't Nintendo who came up with this tech. It's actually quite old. Many companies offer displays like that.
